It's a thin line between 'non violent' protest,
and 'passive aggressive' extremely provocative antagonistic protest...

.. That's such a sneaky childish school playground tactic to deliberately wind up other kids
to the point of such anger they strike the first blow..

"So let's go out obstructing busy traffic and deliberately provoking ordinary folks into acts of road rage against poor defensless innocent us;
so we can play the victim of bullying and claim the moral high ground"...

No.. you just look like sanctimonious spoilt twats putting yours and other lives in potential danger...!!!

Remember the green cross code, don't play silly buggers on busy roads...
At least back in the day, Swampy and his tree climbing and tunnel digging protest movement
could still retain some public sympathy and support...
